Sunderland have agreed personal terms with Tottenham midfielder Ryan Mason, according to reports.

David Moyes is known to want two central midfielders before the window closes on Wednesday night - with numbers depleted in that area of the pitch in particular.

And according to the Daily Mail, the Black Cats have agreed to his demands of £40,000-a-week.

They are yet to agree a fee with Tottenham for the 25-year-old central midfielder, but he is allowed to leave Spurs this summer with the North London side already accepting an £8million offer from Hull City.

However, he is yet to agree terms with the KC Stadium outfit and Sunderland could make a late swoop if a fee can be settled.

Hull are said to be still confident of convincing Mason to move there this summer, however, with ex-team-mates such as Jake Livermore and Tom Huddlestone reportedly trying to sell the move to him.

However, things look uncertain at Hull despite their good start to the campaign, with Mike Phelan in caretaker charge after former Sunderland manager Steve Bruce resigned earlier this month.

Mason made 22 league appearances for Tottenham last season, although only eight of those were starts. He scored just the one goal - the winner at the Stadium of Light last September.

Meanwhile, Sunderland have also had an improved offer believed to be in the region of €9million accepted for Sevilla captain Vicente Iborra, according to reports in Spain.

The central midfielder made a cameo appearance from the bench for Sevilla against Villarreal on Sunday evening, but reports suggest he will now discuss personal terms over a move to Wearside.

The player is thought to be happy to stay at Sevilla but his agent this weekend admitted that they understood the market and a move might have to happen. He is thought to be happy to move to the Premier League though.

If Mason and Iborra were to both arrive at the Stadium of Light, however, it would suggest that the club have perhaps given up hope of landing Yann M’Vila this summer.

The Frenchman had a successful loan season at the club last season but have been reluctant to match Rubin Kazan’s valuation for him this window to sign him permanently, believing it to be too high when he only has six months remaining on his current deal.

The suggestion has been that the Black Cats may reassess in January and go back for him then on a free.
